Hinterlands multimedia workshop – get your free place here…

We’re glad to say that we will again be offering a free place on the Hinterlands multimedia workshop. We want to give a helping hand to someone who is really committed to making multimedia but may not have the financial means to come on this year’s workshop in Devon.

We’d like budding multimedia makers [...]

Lessons from the Death Zone

Go on – see for yourself.

Oxfam launched their ‘See for Yourself’ UK fundraising campaign this week. We’ve been working hard with them over the past few months to produce the TV adverts, online edits and photography for the campaign.

Duckrabbit’s Benjamin Chesterton, David White and videographer Felix Clay went to Zimbabwe this January to film in the Gutu region, [...]

Terror! Headline v Reality

This is the headline today for a Guardian article about a recently released report by a well-respected security and defence think tank (the Royal United Services Institute) about Al-Qaida affiliated groups in North and East Africa. Alarming stuff right? Until you read down to the penultimate paragraph of the article which notes that RUSI’s [...]

“Life ain’t perfect, and neither is my cabin”

By Lost and Found Films.

If you’re having a tough week at work why not take a few minutes out to see the escape fantasy made real.

Mr Happy Man loves you.

And he’s got relationship advice to offer too – just in time for Valentine’s Day.

“My days are full of joy and sorrow.” – Sketches of Greenland.

 

Sketches of Greenland by Jeroen Toirkens and Petra Sjouwerman. I met Jeroen at the Zilveren Camera photojournalism awards in The Hague last month – what a nice bloke. He was picking up a well-deserved Canon Multimedia Prize for his Nomad’s Life project.

Jeroen started documenting the life of the last nomadic peoples in [...]

Hockney in HD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just a quick plug for David Hockney’s ‘A Bigger Picture’ Exhibition at the Royal Academy. Fantastic stuff – particularly liked his video installation of the Yorkshire countryside in summer and winter, filmed at a walking pace using a grid of HD cameras. Seen [...]

Got a few spare GoPro Hero cameras knocking about?

London based Timeslice Films have – here’s a short promo they made for Rip Curl using 30 GoPro Heros set up in an array.

For every kiss, also a tear…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“You have to keep up with the river because we need to know what she feels today. She’s like a woman, you have to care about her, you have to feed her, you have to touch her – we need to know her [...]

Time lapse – that’s more like it…

Bathtub IV by Keith Loutit.

Thanks John MacPherson for suggesting this in response to an earlier post. Really enjoyed it.

Easy on the eye

 

This time-lapse film is, particularly the night shots. Nice work, though I’ve got to admit that the inspirational music didn’t really do it for me.

Yakuza – getting under the tattoos

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw this photo on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme website. It’s one of a series of photographs of the Japanese Yakuza, taken over a period of two years by photographer Anton Kusters. I was [...]
